AB  - Elasmobranchs can bioaccumulate considerable amounts of persistent organic 
      pollutants (POPs) and utilize several reproductive strategies thereby influencing 
      maternal transfer of contaminants. This study provides preliminary data on the 
      POP transfer from pregnant females to offspring of three species (Atlantic 
      stingrays, bonnethead, blacktip sharks) with different reproduction modes 
      (aplacental, placental viviparity). Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) levels were 
      generally higher than any other POPs. Stingrays and blacktip shark embryos 
      contained the lowest POP concentrations while bonnetheads and the blacktip adult 
      female had the highest concentrations. Results suggest that POPs are more readily 
      transferred from the mother to the embryo compared to what is transferred to ova 
      in stingrays. Statistically significant differences in levels of selected POPs 
      were found between embryos from the left and right uterus within the same litter 
      as well as between female and male embryos within the same litter for 
      bonnetheads, but not for the blacktip sharks.
